The Fake Husband of the Beautiful CEO

Monday, in the conference room on the top floor of the Lin Group building.

Lin Tiannan sat in the main seat, and the conference table, which was seven or eight meters long, was filled with about twenty senior executives from the entire Lin Group.

Chen Dong sat in the third seat to Lin Tiannan's right, his face calm.

According to the company's status, he, a mere salesman, is not qualified to sit here.

But... well, he's the company's heir, after all.

"Gentlemen, the reason for holding this meeting today is to announce an important personnel appointment."

Lin Tiannan spoke, his voice loud and clear.

The meeting room fell silent instantly.

In truth, everyone knew that the meeting was just a formality.

Chen Dong's performance in the sales department has been outstanding lately; even people in other departments have heard about it.

They signed several large contracts in succession, generating considerable profits for the company.

"Following a board decision, Lin Dong is hereby officially appointed as the Sales Director of the Lin Group, effective today!"

As soon as Lin Tiannan finished speaking, a sparse round of applause rang out in the conference room.

It was nothing out of the ordinary.

But many people are still unconvinced.

It's important to know that the sales department is the core department of the Lin Group, controlling 70% of the company's cash flow.

The sales department is also the territory of the Lin Group's veterans.

Everyone present knew perfectly well what it meant for Lin Tiannan to hand over such an important position to Lin Dong.

"Chairman Lin..."

Sales Vice President Wang Haiming slowly stood up, a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

He was over fifty years old and had worked for the Lin Group for a full thirty years. He deserves great credit for the Lin Group's current success.

He is also a veteran figure in the group.

"Does Mr. Wang have any objections?"

Lin Tiannan looked up at him, his expression calm.

Wang Haiming forced a smile: "Chairman Lin, I have no objection, but I have some doubts."

"Although Lin Dong has been performing well recently and has closed several big deals, he is still relatively inexperienced, having only been with the company for less than two months..."

"The sales department is the core department of the company, with hundreds of people under its management."

"Wouldn't it be... dangerous to entrust such an important position to Lin Dong?"

He didn't finish speaking, but everyone present understood what he meant.

Too young, can't handle the situation.

Chen Dong sat in his seat, secretly chuckling to himself.

This old fox speaks so righteously on the surface, but isn't he just reluctant to give up the lucrative sales department?

These old guys in the group, in addition to their annual dividends, receive far more benefits from the company than the combined salaries of everyone in the first department.

Letting him take over would mean losing their share of the profits, which these old guys were naturally unhappy about.

At this moment, CFO Sun Liguo also stood up.

"Chairman Lin, what President Wang said makes sense."

"Managing the sales department isn't something you can do just by signing a few deals; it requires experience, qualifications, and prestige."

"In my opinion, it would be better to let Lin Dong gain experience as a sales manager for two years first, and then consider promotion when he has enough experience."

The two veteran figures' remarks drew echoes from others.

"Yes, Mr. Sun is right. Young people still need to gain experience."

"Otherwise, we won't be able to keep those old hands in check."

"that is!"

Several elders spoke one after another, and the scene became somewhat out of control for a moment.

Lin Tiannan's expression grew increasingly grim.

Over the years, he has turned a blind eye to these old guys.

He didn't want to argue about the profits he took from the company.

But to their surprise, the position of a mere sales director caused them such a commotion; it seems they truly consider the company their own home.

Just as he was about to retort, Chen Dong suddenly stood up.

His gaze swept over the so-called elders present, finally settling on Wang Haiming.

He chuckled lightly, "Mr. Wang said I'm not qualified enough?"

Wang Haiming was taken aback, and subconsciously replied.

"Isn't that right?"

Chen Dong's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Then I'd like to ask Mr. Wang, what are your qualifications?"

Is it about how long you spend just coasting along at the company, or how much value you create for the company?

"If we're talking about time, Mr. Wang has been with the company for thirty years. What about his performance? Last year, the sales department's performance declined by 15% compared to the year before!"

"In the first half of this year, it declined by another 20%!"

"At this rate, will the sales department be able to achieve its annual target by the end of the year?"

Wang Haiming's old face turned bright red. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Because everything Chen Dong said was true.

The Lin Group's performance has indeed been declining in the past two years, with the sales department bearing the brunt.

Of course, the Liu family was also involved.

But this is not an excuse.

"Friends, times have changed."

"Today's market is not about seniority, but about ability, efficiency, and results!"

"The old methods don't work anymore."

"Mr. Wang said I'm not qualified enough. Fine, I can resign from this director position. But can Mr. Wang guarantee that the sales department's performance this year will return to what it was before?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.

Are you kidding me!

Given the current economic situation, let alone recovery.

If they can avoid a decline, that would be incredibly lucky.

Wang Haiming was speechless; he couldn't do it.

"But I can!"

With just one simple sentence, the elders present all looked on in disbelief.

Lin Tiannan listened to his son's performance with a look of satisfaction on his face.

This kid is finally showing some signs of being a successor.

"Now, does anyone have any objections?"

"If there are no objections, then Lin Dong will be the Sales Director starting today."

"I hope everyone will cooperate with Director Lin in the future."

"yes!"

Everyone answered in unison.

Although they outwardly obeyed, they each harbored their own ulterior motives.

Wang Haiming, in particular, looked extremely grim.

A sinister glint was hidden in his eyes as he looked at Lin Dong.

Kid, you just wait!

……

After the meeting, I had just returned to the sales department when I ran into Zhang Lei.

"Mr. Lin...Mr. Lin!"

The moment Zhang Lei saw Chen Dong, he almost knelt down.

If he hadn't received the company announcement today that Lin Dong had been promoted to sales director, he wouldn't have known that this young master's backer was the chairman.

Thinking back to how I even sought revenge, it was like an old man hanging himself – I was tired of living.

"Manager Zhang!"

"Young Master Lin... please stop teasing your subordinate."

"I...I..."

Zhang Lei was speaking somewhat haltingly at this point, afraid of angering the young master.

Seeing the fear on his face, Chen Dong reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Work hard from now on."

"I won't hold what happened before against you."

Upon receiving this answer, Zhang Lei finally felt relieved.

He thought that after today he would have to go back to farming.

Surprisingly, this rumored prince isn't as scary as I imagined.

"Don't worry, young master!"

"I will serve the company wholeheartedly, even unto death!"
